IMPROVEMENT IN LUBRICATORS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 198,022, dated December 11, 1877 application filed Octobcr 26, 1877.

To all whom z't may c"onoem:

Be it known that we, AMBROSE M. HIG- GINS and NEWTON DEVEREX, of Manton, in the county 0f Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented a new and Improved Lubricator, of which the following is a speci- Figure 1 a longitudinal section of an engine-slide, taken on line 90 a; in Figs. 2 and 3.

Fig. 2 is a transverse section taken on line 3/ y in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a transverse section taken on line 2 2 in Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicatc corresponding parts.

Our invention consists in a chamber former]. at the ends of the engine-slide for receiving cotton waste or other fibrous material, and in an oil-receptacle having a perforated bottom, and fitted to the chamber in the slide, for supplying oil to the cotton waste.

In the drawing, A is the engine-slide, in which there is a chamber, a, which opens on the face and on the back of the slide. In this chamber a quantity of cotton waste is placed, which projects beyond the face of the slidc. 4

An oil-receptacle, B, having a perf0rated bottom, b, and a filling-apernnre, 0, is fitted to the chamber a, with its perforated bottom b in contact with the cotton waste contained by the chamber. .This oiling device may be attached to one or both ends of the slide, 01' it may be attached to the guides or ways.

Instead of forming a chamber in the substance of the slide, as described,a box, 0, may

be sccured, by straps d, to the end of the slide, and the cotton waste and oil-receptacle placed therein, as in the other case,

By means of our improvement the slide is kept constantly hibricated and cleaned from dust and dirt. When the cotton waste becomes gummed or filled with dirt it is easily removed and replaced by taking out the oilreceptacle.

The oiLreceptacle, being closed, so as to pro daim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent The combination, with an engine-slide, A, of the bottom-perforated oil-reservoir B, arranged at the end of slide, substantiafly as shown and described.
